The phrase "I Do" is the most craved phrase throughout the entire human race. The phrase "I Do" is the most used during the exchange of vows and interestingly, it is the most abused phrase(many don't say what they mean and mean what they say).

Unfortunately, there is an upsurge in the statistics of divorce rate as a result of repugnant reasons too numerous to mention.

Oh well, I may not be married but to an extent, I'm experienced in the dating/courting game even though I'm still a work in progress. Therefore, I indulge you to carefully read in-between the lines. *winks

Just before you say "I do" there are steps which you must painstakingly follow. They include the following:

Step 1: Pray fervently and ask God for his guidance and revelation during the courting process. Never be carried away with the 'mills and boom' of the relationship ignoring the warning sign. You'll notice the warning sign and you'll notice the go-ahead sign as well. Be sensitive enough, pay attention.

Step 2; Never use the phrase "I do" as a result of societal-pressure or pressure from family and friends. It's a set-up for doom. Your peace of mind and choice of selection should be ultimatum bearing in mind that these "so called bugs" won't tag along with you during the marital journey.

Step 3: Be readily prepared. The use of tautology here stresses the need to be well prepped up in all the stages which includes the psychological, emotional, financial, behavioural and mental stage. Financial maturity is very important but Psychological, behavioural, financial and mental maturity shouldn't be ignored or paid lesser attention to. As as a matter of fact, they are the sole-triggers of divorce rate. Sequentially, they should appear on the list before finance.

Step 4: Court intensively and extensively. This is to create an upsurge in compatibility and credibility whereby creating an avenue to understand each other's weakness and area of strength. The timing should be quite substantial. Relax and never be a desperado, rather be a commando, aligning with the commandments, principle and teaching of the word. This process shouldn't be rushed(It's an eternal journey), it shouldn't take forever either.

Step 5: Read books, listen to tapes, attend seminars and listen to the counsel of resourced persons who have being successful in the journey. Be open to learning new stuffs and figure out the method that works for you.

Step 6: Communicate effectively. The moment there's a breach in communication, the courting process begins to die a natural death. Couples are advised to talk over pressing issues, resolve conflicts, get acquainted with the other party, familiarize real good to breed undaunted level of compatibility.

Step 7: Be versatile. Be spontaneous. Be a lover of wisdom. Be open to learning new things and methods of tackling issues. Become a better version of you each day. Never stop learning!

Step 8: Desist from tasting "the forbidden fruit" This will fortify, transform and uphold you. More so, there'll be something divinely beautiful to look up to. Never screw up the courting process, it leads to the ultimate "see finish syndrome,"

Step 9: Rehearse Steps 1-8 until you yield a reasonable percentage of result.

Only then are you good to go and safe to use the term "I Do" to that one special person who will forever be the love of your life, soulmate, companion, teammate and your best friend forever.

From May 16th-18th 2016, the Heavens opened its gates at The Common wealth of Zion Assembly(COZA) with warm embrace to welcome raw talents with divine gifting who would make it to the final 5 that would form the international gospel musical crew, "The Gratitude."

The event was well attended by participants across the country and unfortunately, many are called but few are chosen, so was the fate of the densely populated participants.

Tye Tribbett and Tim Godfrey were the Chief panelist of the event.

Tye Tribbett is an American gospel music singer, songwriter, keyboardist, choir director and founder of the Grammy nominated and Award winning gospel group "Tye Tribbett & G.A.

Tye Tribette is married to Shante Tribbett and blessed with two beautiful daughters.

Tim Godfrey is a Nigerian born Gospel singer. He and "The Xtreme Crew" have performed in over 1000 events both within and outside Nigeria. He possesses enviable undaunted moves during performances.

Tim Godfrey(Award winning Gospel artiste and music director) as one of the panelist.

So many are in the habit of consulting Soothe-Sayers who'll constantly reassure them that the devil isn't trying to play games with them, the most painful side of this boring story is that they spend fortunes all in the name of trying to gain clarification.

You see, you are not that important to the devil. As a matter of fact, you almost don't exist in the eyes of the devil, you are too petty for him to handle.

Since his exit from Heaven and the fall of the first man(Adam) whose fall he(devil) wholly masterminded, he has spent the entire human race trying to get back at God.

In truth, he's not interested in you, it's God he's interested in, and because he's so shameless, he constantly reduces himself to acting petty by trying to pick on(steal, kill and destroy) humans.

God made humans in his image and likeness and to top it up, He loves the entire human race unconditionally, making the devil entire jealous and defensive(remember he used to be God's first love).

The devil goes around trying to put on that defensive mechanism stunt in order to feel relevant with his idle self. And because he's so wise in a petty way, he tries to get at humans in order to anger God and constantly leave God bitter. (The story of Job is a typical illustration).

The only way to get at somebody you detest is to inflict pain on their loved ones and literally, that is what the devil is trying to do with God, and the truth is, he constantly carries out his distasteful task in the most antagonizing way ever.

*Today, Armour up! Don't be a victim of circumstance, Don't be his prey, Don't give the devil that little-tingly space to oppress you, because, an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

Legendary Response: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

A high level of faith needs to be indulged while fighting for the betterment of humanity. Faith according to Martin Luther King Jnr. is "taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

There are so many "doubting Thomas's" filled with unbelief and indecision. The crave for seeing it all before taking the first step is said to be on the rampant.

Martin Luther's words of inspiration encourages us to step out of our "playing it safe zone" and step out to effect that change that would make a difference in the lives of others around no matter the number.

*Trust you're having a great Saturday as always. The match between Real-Madrid and Atletico-Madrid was the realest thing that happened tonight! I enjoyed every bit of it, the tension and all was entirely entertaining to me.

It was a well deserved cup for Real-Madrid. To every heart-broken Atletico-Madrid fan, better luck next time, okay. You guys were amazing as well! *Muah

You've ever laboured so hard, toiled tirelessly to attain a certain degree of accomplishment on behalf of others, only for you to return to the proposed destination of where your mission is to kick-start, and meet everyone who you've painstakingly laboured for living in vulgar obscenity of the highest order.

Well, you are not alone, that was the fate of Ezra.

Baba hustled big time for the people of Israel, gathered all the treasures he could from King Darius and his advisories. In excitement, hurriedly returned to Israel to unveil all he had in store for them only to get his heart broken by the level of betrayal. (See Ezra Chapter 9 for the full gist)

Ripping off one's robe was the social norm of expressing mourning at the time, but Ezra's epic mourning was entirely historic because he not only ripped off his robes and his cape, he pulled hair out of his head and beard. *Imagine doing that to have a feel of his agony

In the end, they mourned bitterly alongside Ezra, repented of their sins, resolved never to indulge in their sinful activities and freely gave up themselves for sanctioning.

*Today, tread in the right path and infuse loyalty especially towards parents, guardians or sponsors thriving so hard for your good. This way, avoiding every shade complication because you never know who's heart you'll be shattering.

A steel in the spine is an idiomatic expression which literally means high dose of motivation, morale surge or anything that gives one the "gingered" effect.

At a point in our lives, we all need that morale surge(steel in the spine) that will give us the positive vibe to anticipate victory while preparing to confront it. It could be a competition, a contest or the hosting of a grand event. It could be anything historic and more.

King Hezekiah who was referred to, as the best King ever lived in the city of Judah (See,2 Chronicles 31:20) was in the habit of empowering his subjects with the highest level of morale surge whenever it was time for a warfare. Most importantly, he didn't eliminate God out of the equation. As a matter of fact, he put God first, and then went on to do what he knew how to do best. God continually instilled divine wisdom unto him to fuel up whatever activity he got himself engaged in.

When we read through 2 Chronicles Chapter 30,31 and 32, we see how God continually gave him victory on every side and success in everything he did.

Are you in that room full of demeaning remarks, other than a room filled with moral surge, it's time to get out of that room, you don't belong there.

*Today, live life fully motivated, bearing in mind that potential is always at zero and it needs a force to push it to kinetic. Get out of that awkward room and begin to hunt for where you'll get that kinetic effect.

By the way, that's Becky with the good hair with her boo. lool *laugh with me

On a serious note, there are agents of hell fire posing around as friends or friends to be, don't ever give them the slightest opportunity to grab you. They do it with so much ease, be warned! Don't be a victim of circumstance.

We all have the immune system to fight. Fight, fight , fight your way through. It's a continual process.

First off, don't permit what you don't want in your mind. Also, don't permit the wrong people in your life. Put on the "Do Not Disturb" sign. Oh yes, you must rub it in their faces. It has to be ever glaring always and all the time.

Often a times, we get comfortable crawling, when we have a DNA to fly. Acceptance makes one relax, be comfortable with everyone not liking you. Reason is, the road to success is usually lonely not over ruling the fact that on our own, we go far, but with people, we go fast.

Well, First we must go far(phase 1), then Second, we must go fast(phase 2). Never switch the process. We don't need too many people in our space when we are struggling with phase 1.

Immediately phase one is done and dusted with, phase two naturally glues on with little or no struggle.

*Today, let's absorb ourselves in the right things, not forgetting the fact that everyone making it thinks differently, and everyone who thinks differently needs some serious space to think and get started with the process.

Anchor Scripture: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
"Jabez was a better man than his brothers, a man of honour. His mother had named him Jabez (Oh, the pain!), saying, "A painful birth" I bore him in great pain!" Jabez prayed to God of Isreal : "Bless me, O bless me! Give me land, large tracts of land. And provide your personal protection - don't let evil hurt me," God gave him what he asked for."

Not so many are aware that God hastily attends to the needs of those in tragic situation. The thing is, many are drowned in excessive mourning instead of summoning courage, confronting God and asking for whatever their needs may be and staying readily available as well to obtain what they asked for.

You must first believe, then you receive.

He(Jabez)was tagged with the stigma of tragedy because of a loss he wasn't even present to witness, his parents transferred the aggression on him because shortly before his birth, they had lost a dear son.

Jabez mourned a great deal which was only normal but he didn't roll over and play dead, neither did he party in the "Pity Party Address" to obtain sympathy.

The mature way of handling issues exhibited by Jabez should be incorporated by everyone of us, this way, God suppresses the pain by raining down on us "Joy-overflow."

*Today, let's pray for P.Square irrespective of the pain and troubles and watch God do what He knows how to do best.

No human underneath the surface of the planet is perfect. While thriving to obtain perfection, we may end up doing it excellently but never perfect which isn't bad at all.

Well, I have my weakness(es), they are ever glaring before me.

First, Over time, I began to love fashionable dresses, some of them may seem "high risque" and sometimes, subconsciously, I take risks. Reasons why you may get to see me on petite outfits sometimes. The good-news is that I try to do that in the most modest way as possible, growing up in the way of the Lord shaped almost everything that affects me, it awoken my consciousness.

Second, I move on from events too quickly (good or bad). These events doesn't include death oo, I'm the ultimate cry cry baby in that field. lol.
Enough of me!

Well, whatever your weakness is today, Fix It! Indulge the consciousness, do it deliberately, the idea is to attain positive results, which is the sole aim. Never call a bend an end, everything is a continual work in progress because life equates responsibility and we indulge in different shades of responsibility(consciously or unconsciously) every moment of our lives.

*Today, TALK IT OUT, FIX that weakness!

Anchor Scripture: Luke 21:15
"For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

Have a Productive day Fam...

No Blogging Without You Guys, Thank You For Visiting!

Side note: I Love Y'all, the emails and the sweet messages from You my ardent readers have being my positive vibe all along, words literally can't express my gratitude, Thank you so so much.

It'll interest you to know that most times when we waste time waiting on God, He's in Heaven lounging, shaking His head at us and patiently chilling for us to get started and just make that move.

After the fall of Man(Adam), God discarded man from the garden of Eden. He was merciful while doing that, so He gave him dominion over every other living creature and vested authority and power over him to take charge and dominate.

Taking Dominion entailed that man was/is responsible for naming every living creature, decision making, safe guarding himself and ensuring that his needs are met. God would never descend to planet earth to personally help us, we must do it ourselves. He is forever wise! And to that effect, He ensured that we don't ever get to live in isolation, so He put things in place for us on our behalf.

What is God doing?

*God is waiting for us to set goals, meet them and move on to the next(there's always more to do).
*God is waiting for us to exercise that amount of discipline that will enable us overcome and transcend into the higher realm.
*God is waiting for us to gracefully pass through our development process from crawling to standing to walking to running and to flying if need be.
*God is waiting for us to do it afraid because in His wisdom, He has blessed us with immeasurable strength and capability.
*God is waiting for us to align in His words so that He can reveal His secrets to us with ease.

A blank cheque is a signed cheque with the amount left for the payee to fill in. It is an unlimited amount of freedom.

The above definition which is theoretical is intertwined with the definition of God's given blank cheque in the spiritual realm.

A blank cheque is usually issued.

God created each and everyone of us, issued unto us a blank cheque to carefully fill all we crave for. Likening it to the second definition of a blank cheque, we are entitled to an unlimited amount of freedom while filling it.

The idea is to fill it carefully, and the good thing about this blank cheque is that you can erase any error and fill in the appropriate detail. This blank cheque is "destiny based."

It's unfortunate that most people do not specifically write all that needs to be written in their own blank cheque, therefore just living life as it comes without actualizing destiny which is the appalling scenario many get themselves involved in. This blank cheque is given without a price tag, we are given unlimited freedom to tap into divine bliss.

While filling this blank cheque, the law of attraction shouldn't be ruled out. The law of attraction states that whatever you crave the most is what you have the most. Like magnet, it is a new thought of philosophy used to sum up the idea that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, a person brings positive or negative experiences into their lives.

Now imagine when you involve God into the equation, It's entirely going to be a certified touche.

*Today, let's carefully fill in our blank cheques, bearing in mind that you'll have to pass through God to wholly obtain every content of all that was penned down.

Dating back to the the creation story in Genesis Chapter 1, we see how God not only replaced Lucifer but discarded him forever. Lucifer was said to be God's right hand man, because he was the closest to God.

Yea! he got great looks too, and a shining light beamed in his countenance that made him shine ever bright but there was one thing, he wanted to be on the same page with God where he'll be involved in every decision making on to run the universe.

Greed set in, envy pulled through, jealousy found its way in, and pride ruined everything.

Thing is, he was ungrateful, God gave him authority over other angels, God granted unto him high definition I.Q(Intelligence Quota), God blessed him with good form, God dispensed Authority free of charge to him, God gave him freedom, God ensured he lacked nothing, God blessed him with every good thing... but most importantly, God loved him dearly.

Then, he rebelled against God; The Alpha and Omega, The Mighty Man In Battle, The Lion Of The Tribe of Judah, The I Am That I Am, The Mighty Counselor, The Prince Of Peace, The Jealous God! And lost it all...

You can be skillful, graceful, unique in all ramification, charming, gifted in all your dealings, diligent, a staunch lover of God, yet disdainfully proud, forgetting pretty soon that God gives and He takes, and always has a better upgrade and that You Can Be Replaced.

*Today, indulge meekness(teachableness)and allow God do the lifting up at His perfect timing.

*It's going to be a lengthy read. Dare to be patient, read to the end and thank me later, winks.

There lived a bad guy named King Joram. He wasn't a good-bad guy, he was a bad-bad guy. He was the son of late king Ahab a.k.a Jezebel's husband. See 1 Kings 16:29-33 to read about his distasteful record of how he was refereed to by God as the king who got him angrier than all the previous kings of Israel put together. What a monstrous record! lol

Joram was a split image of his late parents but he wasn't as bad as them anyway according to the Bible.

Well he was quite influential yet insignificant as well because of his terrible leadership and acute disobedience.

The King of Moab rebelled against him(Joram) after the death of his father(Ahab). This prompted him into sending a message across to King Jehoshaphat who was King of Judah at the time, to accompany him to war. Jehoshaphat obliged to Joram's request and a war was declared. The king of Edom tagged along with them as well.

After seven days, they ran out of water for their army and animals. Joram the King of Isreal wailed in a wild cry, "Bad news! God has gotten three Kings out here to dump us in the land of Moab."

But Jehoshaphat the good-wise guy and lover of God simply asked, "Isn't there a prophet of God anywhere through which we can consult God?"

One of the servants of Israel disclosed the name "Elisha" to them, they immediately went in search for Elisha.

At the sight of Joram, Elisha asked him, "What do you and I have in common? Go and consult the puppet prophets of your father and mother." Joram tried to defend himself but Elisha immediately snapped at him saying, "If it weren't for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, I wouldn't give you the time of the day." See(2 Kings Chapter 3) for the rundown of what transpired.

Joram was influential and at the same time wealthy because he held the highest position at the time as "King of Israel" but we see how Prophet Elisha reduced him to nothing.

Are you INFLUENTIAL, wealthy and have the good life going on for you, yet without an impact? God today is calling you INSIGNIFICANT! What's the point of attaining an influential position yet acting like a puppet prompting others to publicly disrespecting you a great deal?

According to Martin Luther King Jnr, "The success of a man shouldn't be measured on the money he has but by the virtue of his character"

Today, dare to ask questions, dare to be different, dare to have a distinguishing character/personality, dare to make an impact according to your capability, dare to love GOD in an unusual kind of way, and watch success and recognition naturally flow to you.

Nonchalant is a state or manner of appearing usually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest or enthusiasm.

The term "Worryless" isn't grammatically correct, but it literally means zero worry, free from anxiety, kill-joy and anything toxic to your state of mind and welfare overall.

Well, "Nonchalantless" is not of God because it's an attitude that entails being overly loose, careless, carefree and literally ignoring almost everything. It takes nothing serious.

On the other hand, "Worrylessness" is of God. It reinstates perfect freedom, peace of body, mind and soul. This godly trait not only bring serenity into our lives, it elongates our life span.

Anchor Scripture: Mathew 6:25

"Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you'll eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Our Anchor Scripture of the day stresses on the need to discard every worry, it doesn't overrule working hard towards attaining set goals. It entails committing everything into the hands of God, trusting Him to bless you with the ultimate gifts of life, which He's in the habit of disbursing generously to those who genuinely love him and to those He rightfully calls his own.

Pentecost Sunday is a special day because it's a unique celebration that falls on the 8th day of the 7th day of the 7th week from Easter.

It's celebrated exactly fifty days after Easter. The numerical significance for ''50'' is "Liberation."

Today, may God liberate us from every shackle of backwardness and stagnation, may the Holy-ghost fire reignite our light, so that we may shine so bright, obtain a new identity, do exceeding, abundantly, above all that we could ever think or imagine, Amen.

You've ever worked so hard with little or nothing to show for it? It's time to involve God, re-strategize and Do It Yourself...

You've ever allowed others perpetually make decisions that rule your world, it's time to mount the "STOP" sign and Do It Yourself...

You've ever trusted others with their epileptic judgement, overruled yours which seemed like the real deal and it backfired, It's time to Do It Yourself...

You've ever wondered why the world has being so unfair to you amidst the substantial amount of input you thrust into it, without a profiting output, It's about that time to change your location, bearing in mind that it depends on you and you'll be needing to Do It Yourself...

You've ever sacrificed so greatly for others and they consistently fail to translate the message. There's nothing wrong with your "food" but there's everything wrong with "your table" You'll have to change your table but Do It Yourself...

You've ever allowed demeaning opinion of others to overshadow yours, it's time to come out of that shell and Do It Yourself...

You've never made a good grade because of the distractions here and there, it's time to indulge discipline, be diligent in your studies and remember to Do It Yourself...

You've ever relied on others so greatly, trusting them to handle sensitive works that involves your life and they failed, it's time to Do It Yourself.

*Manna seized to fall when God led the people of Israel away from the wilderness into the promise land. God gave them the good land, vegetation and all, but they were solely responsible for the toiling and accountability. It's about that time you stop relying so hard on people and just DO IT YOURSELF...

Like they say, "All fingers are not equal" True! but God so kind created Class distinction in his own wisdom to create a balance. Imagine a world with only rich people or only poor people, where no one ever struggled over nothing, life would be so boring at the sight.

Yeah, it's okay to start from the grass-root level and remain there for a while, while trying to re-strategize at the dawn of self-consciousness, but it's not okay to remain at a spot forever, reason is; it's not Biblical, whatever God creates multiplies.

Dirty is synonymous with the word filthy, it is an unclean or unpleasant state or excessive disorderliness exhibited by an individual, which are most times inculcated overtime to become habit.

It will interest you to know that dirtiness comes in grades just like class distinction but dirtiness itself is universal an it doesn't favour no class either. Some rich people are dirty and some poor people are dirty as well.

Dirtiness in most situation is related to laziness. Being rich and busy or being poor and disorganized shouldn't be an excuse to exhibit dirtiness.

Remember, You're addressed the way you dress.

Anchor Scripture: Exodus 19:10
"Then the lord told Moses, "Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their clothing"

From the above scripture, God can't stand dirtiness of no form. Looking dirty to approach God in church is disrespectful and a no no. You represent God everywhere you go, therefore, dirtiness isn't allowed because He didn't say you should look dirty.

Goodbyes are always difficult decisions to make but it's entirely worth it when one isn't obtaining desired results yet drowning in the process because of the fear of hurting the feelings of the other party, not wanting to look like a terrible person and the fear of being lonely.

It's time to say goodbye to;

* Those who don't celebrate you and never have anything nice to say about you.

* That stupid relationship leading you nowhere yet perpetually indulging you in sinful acts.

* Those who live their entire lives talking at your back and smiling at your face.

* That job that gives you zero job satisfaction, yet entails you having to lie, steal, cheat, cover up shady stuffs, play pretend and other negative vices, all in the pursuit of more money to make ends meet.

* That friend who isn't adding value to your life yet corrupting the good manners you still have left.

* Those friends in the habit of demeaning you, instead of upgrading you.

* Those who don't show support and care towards you.

* All the leeches and snitches in your life.

* All the gifted and potential kill-joy personalities you are aware of.

"You can suffer the pain of change or suffer the remaining way you are.

"Courage is fear that said its prayers and decided to go forward anyways.

"Put your expectation in God, not people.

"When you are tempted to give up, your breakthrough is probably just around the corner.

"Character is doing what you don't want to do but you know you should do.

"Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.

"I may not be where I need to be but I thank God I am not where I used to be.

"God doesn't tell you to do hard things so He can stand back and laugh and watch you struggle. He tells you to do things that He knows are gonna work out to your good in the end.

"One mistake doesn't have to rule a person's entire life.

"Just because you go to church doesn't mean that you're a Christian. I can go sit in the garage all day and it doesn't make me a car.

"Our joy doesn't have to be based on our circumstance!

"Have God make a message out of your mess.

Don't let your feelings be a god to you.

"Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.

"You have to realize that you don't have someone else's life and you're never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrace the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying "God here I am, do what you want to do with me."

"Our past may explain why we're suffering but me must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.

"My purpose in life is to do right and to glorify God.

"Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up everyday and live only for ourselves?
Live your life to help others. Give and live selflessly.

P.S: Crest the above words from Mama Joyce in your hearts forever and watch God do His thing at His perfect timing.

The last post was on obesity, yes, there is a relationship between the fat and the very fat. Well, I didn't intend to step on no fat person's toe, assimilating the message being tried to convey without taking no stuff personal displays a high level of maturity and all round wisdom.

That said, I'll proceed...

To be fit is ultimatum, but not every skinny person is healthy. Some skinny people are on their way to being Anorexic. Everybody wasn't created to be the skinny, but created to fit in and be comfortable in their own skin.

"Social media ti take over" Most people are going haywire because of the new trend which is so unreal, some lose their lives in the process while trying to be comfortable in another person's skin that's not theirs.

Anorexia is an emotional disorder characterized by an obsessive desire to lose weight by refusing to eat.

I tried so hard trying to scout for a scriptural passage that'll amplify God's distaste towards poor eating habits which can lead to Anorexia and other related diseases, and Oh yes! I found an amazing scripture.

Ephesians 5:29
"No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body."

People suffering from Anorexia should never be treated like outcasts, yes, they made mistakes that led to their state, but that doesn't mean they'll have to live their entire lives paying for it. They should be treated with love.

Fortunately, there is cure for Anorexia which involves a combination of psychological therapy and supervised weight gain. It is important for a person with Anorexia to start treatment as early as possible to reduce the risk of serious complication of Anorexia, particularly if the sufferer has lost a lot of weight.

We should learn to treat our bodies right like Apostle Paul has rightly advised in the above scripture and in doing so, God would forever remain proud of us like He always is.

*Show love to Anorexic patients and help them in their struggle to bounce back to an upright life.

It's Monday already! Let's make a difference and have a productive week ahead.

Not so many people were aware that God's prophet Eli, was a very fat man.

1 Samuel 4:18
"At the words, 'Chest of God,' Eli fell backward off his stool where he sat next to the gate. Eli was an old man, and very fat. When he fell, he broke his neck and died. he had led Israel for 40 years."

From the above scripture, Eli was very fat and as a result of that, it triggered his immediate death even though God had prophesied that his family would be wiped out.

Health is wealth, and being fat is the route to being obese. It will interest you to know that God is a lover of the fit, He's obsessed with healthy who possess vigor and vitality in serving him in spirit and in truth.

Obesity is the state of being grossly fat or overweight. Obesity reduces oxygen supply to the body.

Obesity can lead to other illness from acute to chronic, some very severe and deadly, such as; Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Vascular Disease, Heart Attack, Stroke and even Cancer which can lead to death.

Obesity leads to laziness of every form, it'll require the assistance of people around to accomplish tasks especially strenuous tasks, custom made clothing and inner-wears would have to be tailored for whoever is involved, this is pitiable and not good!

Deuteronomy 32: 15
"Jeshurun put on weight and bucked; you got fat, you became obese, a tub of lard. He abandoned the God who made him."

God is looking for the smart not the very fat.

He's concerned about what we put into our system, He loves everyone of us unconditionally and is concerned about our health.

Becoming obese means failing God.

*Today, let's "Werk It Out" not forgetting to show love to the obese and assist them in their struggle to obtain positive results because when it comes to fat loss, slow and steady losses the race.

Naomi was married to Elimelech who hailed from Judah but left home to live in the country of Moab in search of greener pastures. Naomi had two sons named Mahlon and Kilion.

Elimelech died leaving Naomi widowed, and as if that wasn't enough, her two sons died leaving her lonely and entirely heart broken. She had two daughters-in-law named Orpah and Ruth who were wives of her late sons.

Her daughters-in-law loved her greatly and willfully stayed by her side. The pain became unbearable for Naomi to handle so she decided to return back to her home-country, Judah, her daughters-in-law insisted on accompanying her but she pleaded with them to stay back, re-marry and start a new life since they were still young. Well, Orpah eventually succumbed to her plea but Ruth held on stubbornly and said, "Don't force me to leave you; where you go I go; and where you live, I'll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god; where you die, I'll die, and that's where I'll be buried, so help me God- not even death itself is going to come between us!''

From the above statement made by Ruth, she displayed a rare type of unconditional love and God richly paid her.

Life wasn't so rosy when herself and mother-in-law(Naomi) returned to Judah, but like God always does, He shows up! Boaz who was a very rich and prominent man at the time noticed her(Ruth), and to sum it all, he was related to Naomi.

Boaz began to shower Ruth with numerous preferential treatment whenever she went gleaning, Ruth gushed to Naomi about it and Naomi interceded in the situation, showing Ruth the right path to tread which ultimately won the heart of Boaz.

Boaz eventually married Ruth, and by that singular act, he inherited all that belonged to his late relative Elimelech which included Naomi, thereby wiping the tears and agony from the face of Naomi forever. Boaz and Ruth bore a son named Obed who was popularly called "Naomi's baby boy" by the neighbourhood because of the way she went about cuddling him, cooing over him and waiting on him hand and foot.

It will interest you to know that David and Jesus successfully came from the descent of Ruth and Boaz!

Naomi made the way for Ruth, true, but the unconditional-sacrificial-love displayed by Ruth made her genuinely earn whatever good that was bestowed upon her.

When last did you pray for a Naomi? I pray for MY NAOMI everyday of my life!

Have a great day guys!... *Please share with a friend, you never know whose life you'll touch.

The first two years of her marital life was entirely blissful until the devil struck which God eventually revived after the brouhaha that lasted for a long long time. Yes, she was in a marriage with an infidel who was unequally yoked with her, the man she was married to went as far as filing for a divorce. Now, the rest is history. God showed up!

As a young girl, she lived in abject poverty, her background wasn't an enviable one, though she managed to scale through university as a law student and was eventually called to bar after Law school. Mr Hubby came along and immediately after Law school, they made it official. Hubby was so rich, he uprooted her from her past life and this time, gave a life, they toured round the globe because Hubby worked with a good firm, and it entailed being transferred him from country to country, and of course, she(Wifey), tagged along with him every damn time.

Her children went to the best schools in the U.S, she lived in a beautiful house, met influential people, had good stuffs going on in her life but she was without a job during the entire process.

She woke up one fateful day after 18 years of marital life and began to grumble, she mourned, wept uncontrollably and blamed God for allowing her waste away for 18 years without a job to show for it other than being a sit-at-home wife who does nothing but travel round the globe with Hubby.

Then the good Lord arose and said, "You Ingrate! How dare you grumble even in the midst of plenty, I sent a helper who picked you up from the garbage, gave you a life filled with privileges, ensured your children went to the top notch schools, and all you could do is roll over and play dead like a widow who lost it all?"

Well, eventually, she repented of her ill words towards God and aligned in the path of the Most High and Oh Yes, Jesus did it! Today, she's well placed, God replaced everything she thought she missed out in 18 years and gave her multiple reasons to smile once more.

Do you ever feel ungrateful to God because your life isn't going as planned? And you go all ranting... "Lord I do not have a Job! Lord I'm lonely! Lord my mates have flashy cars! Lord I do not have a life partner! Lord I'm broke! Lord I don't have good clothes! Lord, my business is crashing, bla bla bla." Do you remember that your mates are 6 feet underneath the ground? Your mates are in prisons for offences they are innocent of, Your mates are bedridden in hospitals, Your mates are destitutes, Your mates didn't have the privilege of obtaining quality education, Your mates are war victims, Your mates are sexually assaulted, Your mates are going through agonizing stuffs!

Now, think again!

It's about that time you start ignoring what you don't have yet and thanking God for all that you have while being prayerfully expecting and working hard towards stuffs which are lacking because He has promised you double for your trouble.

Deuteronomy 3:16
"Be so strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go before you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."

Second; We must study our environment.

Third; We must be sensitive enough to know when to distract, react and listen.

Fourth; Some environment entails that we put up our best behaviour even when we may have to pretend about it; this is to obtain required result.

Fifth; We must follow due process always. This due process must be applied to the numerous works of life we engage in continually
